And I sure as hell hope this lights a fire under the FO to improve this team cause we ain't gonna coast to a easy playoff spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBX Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 At least the talent movement has been pretty diffuse, lots of mediocre teams signing guys. Correa going to our division helps in two ways. It puts pressure on the Sox, and it makes Houston noticeably worse. For a bad offseason this has been okay in some ways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 2 superstars up the middle now in Buxton and Correa, provided Buxton actually stays healthy.

If the fucking Twins can afford it, you gotta ask why the Cubs and Astros couldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe it's just the initial shock of the move, but a Montas-Gray-Ryan top 3 is probably good enough to get a lineup with Correa, Buxton, Polanco, Urshela, Sanchez, Kiriloff, and Kepler into the (expanded) playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I’m sure Correa’s back is going to love playing in the awful weather in Minneapolis. Over/under 2.5 IL trips this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Getting a 5 WAR player like Correa on what is basically a 1 year deal at $35 million is market rate. Yes, it's expensive, but would you rather have a 27 year old at $35 million a year or would you rather give that 27 year old a 10 year $30 million/year deal and watch him suck it up in the last 5 years of it? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Twins aren't good and this keeps him away from playoff opponents like the Astros and Yankees. This is good news for the Sox, especially if it makes them pony up for Conforto now. 🤷 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twins were never gonna get a player of his caliber for the long-term cause they were never gonna be able to give him the 10 year $300 million+ deal he wanted. This is probably the only way they get a player of Correa's caliber. And it carries minimal risk for them cause it's only $100 million guaranteed. Unless something tragic happens to him, he'll probably opt out after the 1st year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 If we go back to that Heyman tweet about the Twins being interested in Conforto, that was definitely an effort by Boras to up the Sox offer cause he knew that the Twins were getting Correa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 There’s no way the White Sox are keeping Gio, Cease or Anderson. Put all the chips in for the next 2-3 seasons. They desperately need another pitcher, or to get someone to pay 2/3rds of Keuchel’s deal and reallocate that money. Buxton Arraez Correa Polanco Sano Kepler G. Sanchez Kiriloff Urshela Also have Larnach and Rooker… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
